Professor Keller, prologue

My evil plot bunny decided to breed and I had to get up at midnight to plot the story out and write this prologue. I’m sleepy today!

Title: Professor Keller
Fandom: Doctor Who
Rating: R
Genre: Angst/Horror
Length: Multi-chapter
Characters: The Master(Delgado), original characters
Warnings: For this chapter; none. For the fic on the whole; mind games, BDSM, character death.
Summary: Alison and Peter Grey are living a charmed life, young, wealthy and in love. Until they meet a professor Keller and they find themselves trapped in a nightmare. Set between Terror of the Autons and The Mind of Evil.
AN: This fic is sprung from thinking of how the Master got the resources for his scheme in The Mind of Evil. And what do the most evil being in the universe do for fun when he is not plotting world domination? He can’t read books all the time after all. And then I thought of The Time Monster where the Master seems to enjoy to seduce Queen Galleia, rather than using mind control. And somewhere there I got a plot bunny.

This is not a happy fic, the Master is evil, after all. The rating and the warnings may change. I do have the whole story mapped out, but I thought I would try to build it slower than I usually do. There will be het and slash, but I’m not sure how explicit it will be. We’ll see. Constructive criticism is very welcome.

What Am I Reading Wednesday

What I am reading now: Still on Det rena landet.

What I have finished reading: Not much, really. Too much to do, too little sleep and too many allergies. But I picked up and re-read one of my comfort books. Do you have them? Books that you return to when you feel frazzled? I have several, but this one is my oldest; Elizabeth of the Garrett Theatre by Gwendoline Courtney. It was first published in 1948 and have also been published as Stepmother and Those Verney Girls. My parents kept a shelf with books from their childhood and I found this book here when I was nine and has re-read it so many times since then. (I also read Biggles, Westerns, books about horses and girl books by now forgotten Swedish authors.)

It’s a story about four sisters, aged between nine and seventeen who suddenly finds themselves with an unwanted stepmother. They decide on the spot that she must be horrible and do their best to be horrible toward her. They are also all mad about theatre. Naturally Nan, the stepmother is actually a very nice person and eventually she wins them over.

It’s a very funny book and the sisters are all very different characters; shy Alison, rebellious Elizabeth, solid Susan and Georgie who had an unfortunate knack of remembering what everyone else rather she forgot. Mostly it is about Alison and Elizabeth and a very famous actor called Nigel and the book actually have some really good pointers about individual needs and the importance to find the place in life where you belong, regardless of what that place actually is. But it’s hilarious at times, especially if Georgie is around to tell people exactly what her sisters says about them when they are not around.

And it’s cozy; Nan is an excellent cook and know the importance of a nice home and good clothes and to make you feel good. And you do when you read it and you will probably also want some fresh scones and tea while you do it.

And I have read Out of the Aeons by H. P. Lovecraft and Hazel Heald. Another one I hadn’t read before, and actually quite good. A frightening mummy is found on an unknown island and broiught to a small museum. Eventually the narrator learns of an ancient legend about a wrathful god who petrifies those who looks at him, though the brain remain living...

What I will be reading next Don’t know, apart from another Lovecraft short story; The Pictures In the House.
